News Atwood Primary School

The half term seems to have flown by but when we reflect on all that has happened in school we can see where the time went.

In Reception this week, the children have been reading ‘The Leaf Thief’ by Alice Hemming. 

This week, as we go to press the disco is warming up in the back ground to cap off another great week at Atwood.

The children have had another fantastic week of learning!  In phonics, they learned four new sounds: ‘h’, ‘b’, ‘f’, and ‘l’, alongside the tricky words is, I, and the. 

Last Tuesday, Year 1 set off on an exciting walk to Sanderstead Recreation Ground to identify human and physical features in their local area. 

It has been a busy week with children visiting London and the local area, a harvest celebration and parent evenings for all.

This week, Reception have started demonstrating their phonics and reading skills through reading practice, and they will take their first reading books home today that they have been practicing in class! 

This week, children across the school have been reading poems for National Poetry Day, thinking about being kind, visiting Crystal Palace Park and enjoying the ongoing sunshine as well as all the usual learning taking place.

In Reception, the children have had a great deal of fun sharing information about themselves and their families. 

Reception children have continued to settle so quickly and well; we are incredibly proud of them. 

It has been a great week at Atwood with all the children now firmly established in their routines and lots of wonderful learning taking place.

Welcome to our first newsletter of the year which contains details about what the children have been learning and events in school as well as useful information about upcoming dates for the diary. 

The new Reception children have settled so quickly and well; we are incredibly proud of them. 

As we reach the end of the school year it is worth taking a moment to reflect on all that has happened in school over the past academic year.

What a wonderful way to finish an incredible year in Reception!
